Yes, Thanos genuinely respected Tony Stark, seeing him as a kindred spirit due to their shared traits of being "cursed with knowledge," immense intellect, determination, and willingness to sacrifice everything for their beliefs, even preparing for death, which Thanos recognized as a rare quality. Thanos admired Tony's brilliance and grit, particularly his role in thwarting the Chitauri invasion and his audacious act of sending a nuke through the wormhole, viewing Tony as a worthy adversary and someone who understood his own burden.
I think Thanos gave him respect coz he feared Stark, he thought Tony is the only one who might be able to stop him through his knowledge & maybe even kill him. Now since the spoiler ban is lifted, its safe to say Thanos was right.
Disbelieving, Gamora could not comprehend that Thanos ever showed genuine love for her. However, upon realizing it was true, Gamora quickly took her switchblade from Thanos' belt. Drawing it, she attempted to kill herself, only to be fooled by the Reality Stone, opening her hand to reveal only bubbles.
What Marvel character does Thanos fear more than anyone? Some might say Thor, or Captain Marvel, because they obliterated his forces and came dangerously close to defeating him.
Thanos fears Tony Stark not simply because Stark is clever or powerful, but because Stark's readiness to ``give it all'' removes leverage, introduces irreducible unpredictability, and invalidates Thanos's moral and practical calculus. That combination makes Stark uniquely threatening to Thanos's project.

Thanos knew he couldn't beat Asgard, so he waited for opportunity. It came as Odin's death and Asgard's destruction. He was WAITING for it.
Thanos was crying because he had to sacrifice Gamora to obtain the Soul Stone. He was crying because she was the person he loved the most in the world, and he had to give her up to accomplish his genocidal plans. The fact that he was still willing to pay the price proved that he didn't love her enough.
Falling in Love
"A long time ago, I loved someone." Death, as Vidal, met a witch named Agatha Harkness, who learned about her true identity. The two fell deeply in love, with Harkness being responsible for supplying Vidal with many deaths, much to her delight.
J.A.R.V.I.S. was replaced by F.R.I.D.A.Y. in the MCU because J.A.R.V.I.S. evolved into the sentient being Vision at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, leaving Tony Stark needing a new primary AI for his suit, with F.R.I.D.A.Y. serving as the next step in his AI development, not just a temporary fix.
The Mark 42 (or XLII) Iron Man armor is special because it's an autonomous, modular suit that can assemble itself around Tony Stark, controlled by microchips in his arms, allowing remote operation and deployment in separate pieces, making it his first "summonable" armor but also prone to malfunctions as a prototype. It's famous for its unique gold-and-red design and the ability to fly in segments to surround Tony, even letting others wear parts of it, though it was still experimental.
